Halloween Costumes and Makeup Tips

1 2 3 4 5

Halloween is creeping closer (the countdown is almost a month away now!). Once upon a time, a costume meant dressing up like a witch or a ghoul. But somehow the old-hat standbys just don’t cut it anymore. Now, the snarkiest, quirkiest, most-relatable-to-pop-culture costumes have become staples…and it’s sort of a contest to see who can come up with the best.

Enter Halloween 2010, and you’re still deciding between a saucy Snooki or a sultry Dark Queen of Hearts. How to make up your mind? Look at your makeup options; if you’re more for simple, or want to up the ante, let how long you need to do your face and hair be the deciding factor. Find the biggest hits of Halloween and how to do them below:

Lady Gaga ($37.97 for the costume)

You’ll need to put on your best Poker Face to pull this one off. Since the divine LG has 101 looks, find your fave, but make sure you’ve got this down pat: a pair of long and luscious false eyelashes. Try MAKEUP FOREVER Mary Strip ($15), worn by celebs and makeup artists alike for the lushest pair of fringe.

    I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It�s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    I am not a Halloween fan at all when it comes to me, but I love watching other people dress up. I love helping other people get into their costumes too so I definitely will check out some of these products. Halloween can be a lot of fun just being a spectator too!

    I don’t dress up any more (too old), but I LOVE when other people do. We used to do theme Haloween parties when I was in college–”Come as Your Worst Fear” (Snookie might be appropriate) or stuff like that. The suggestions are cute!

    hahaha Gaga and Snooki is so funny! Gaga was really popular last year and I’m sure it will be the same, if not more this year. I don’t know if I want to spend money this year, nor do I have alot time to shop for a costume. So I think I might just wear my sis’ter greek goddess costume she wore one year. Just have to dig it out!
